CHAMBER IN ACTION

High Caliber Karting (HCK) is expanding! Christine Zarkovich, business development manager, LRCC, was part of an
elite selection group asked to participate in a focused study for a Combat Karting LLC, a division of HCK. Christine
tested the new combat karting system and provided feedback regarding technology, innovation, timing, consistency, and
development. The focus group gathered on Monday evenings at the track and discussed and tested the new product, coming
soon to Meridian Mall.

A group of positive and motivated
individuals has taken the initiative to
form a Greater Lansing Optimist
Club. Optimist clubs start from the
Optimist International, and the mission
is to provide hope and positive vision.
Optimists bring out the best in youth,
our communities, and ourselves and
want people to see their full potential.
The Greater Lansing Optimist Club’s
first service project was on September
10 and was to stain the playground
structure at Lake Lansing South Park.

CA TERING
Lansing School District was the first major school district to announce their plans for MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY
reopening in the fall. The plan puts the safety of the students and staff of Lansing
Schools first and foremost.
With the high interest in this announcement from parents, teachers, media, and other
districts around the state, this had to be high quality, with no errors. Lansing School
District asked MessageMakers to run the Facebook livestream, and less than 24 hours
later, a successful stream was broadcast to over 500 live viewers, with over 9,700 views
in the following 4 days.

Great Taste,

Delivered!

Stay safe. Stay connected. catering.msu.edu
